If you can get away with using a Chromebook for a laptop, you might not really be the target user for the Macbook Pros.
FWIW, I have found the new MacBook Pros fairly incredible. They are thinner and lighter, which is quite valuable for people who use notebooks on the go, while still being more powerful than their predecessors.
If I had one complaint it's that they didn't keep around the old 15-inch chassis for a model with more ram and a bigger battery. Made just have one model and aim it at a very specific niche.
But overall, they are very good notebooks. You can power multiple 5K displays from them for God's sakes.
